Bio:
Founded by one of the famed Native American ballerinas of Oklahoma, Yvonne Chouteau, Oklahoma City Ballet has been Oklahoma City's professional ballet company for over 45 years. Its longstanding history of producing high quality dance performances has garnered it attention as one of the finest regional ballet companies in America. Under the fresh vision of Artistic Director Robert Mills since 2008, the company has undergone an exciting transformation. With a reverence to the past, Oklahoma City Ballet has restaged classic works like Swan Lake, Cinderella, Giselle, Coppelia, Romeo & Juliet, Les Sylphides, Paquita Grand Pas Classique, Carmen, Firebird, in addition to its annual presentation of The Nutcracker. It has added works from important choreographers of the 20th century including: George Balanchine, Marius Petipa, Twyla Tharp, Nacho Duato, Anthony Tudor, Agnes DeMille, Margo Sappington, August Bournonville, and Gerald Arpino, and focused on being a catalyst for creating new works by contemporary choreographers including: Matthew Neenan, Amy Seiwert, Helen Pickett, Jessica Lang, Nicolo Fonte, Brian Enos, and Artistic Director Robert Mills.
